MARYVALE, Ariz. – The Dodgers’ starting rotation has become like a cheap pair of prescription glasses. Things keep getting fuzzy.
Sunday started with the news that Brandon Beachy would be shut down for a few days with tendinitis in his right elbow – the same elbow on which he has twice had Tommy John surgery. That – along with his less-than-compelling performances this spring -- seemed to take him out of the running for the fifth starter spot, at least to start the season. With longshot candidate Zach Lee also optioned to the minor-league camp Sunday, Mike Bolsinger was essentially solidified as the heavy favorite to open the season as the Dodgers’ fifth starter.
